Scripture Dose

1 Timothy 3:2-7

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall He take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride He fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover He must have a good report of them which are without; lest He fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

A run down of the ways and manner of life of a Bishop.
